'Harvey' A Big Hit At Berlin Senior Center

BERLIN, CT — It's not unusual for a senior center program to feature a therapy dog or two for a little one-on-one snuggle time with a town's seniors.

Then, there's the program that featured a special four-legged, long-necked guest at the Berlin Senior Center, 33 Colonial Drive, Berlin, on Wednesday.

That's because "Harvey the Llama" strolled into the Berlin Senior Center to meet with those attending a program with the Country Quilt Llama Farm in Cornwall.

Simply put, Harvey was a hit.

"We’ve had many incredible guests over the years, but I think it’s safe to say that Harvey just took the cake," wrote the Berlin Senior Center. "Our seniors were beyond thrilled to meet him, and some even brought their grandkids along so they could get in on the fun too."

On this day, Harvey drew "laughter, joy, and a lot of awws," according to the center.

"Harvey was the star, of course, and everyone enjoyed getting to know him up close," wrote the senior center. "His gentle, calm nature brought out the smiles and giggles all around."
